50 year anniversary question and answer David Slye

Name: David Slye Title: Exec. Managing Director Company: Jones Lang LaSalle Years with Company: 18.5 years Years in real estate industry: 26 Address: One Post Office Sq., 26th Floor, Boston, MA 02109 Telephone: 617-531-4126 Email: david.slye@am.jll.com Website: www.us.jll.com/boston What year did you discover the New England Real Estate Journal and what business were you doing at that time? I discovered the NEREJ in the mid to late 1970s. My father, George Slye, would bring the paper home regularly. I didn't really take an interest until around 1976 when I was 16 years old. I used to read through the Journal to see if my dad or Spaulding & Slye were mentioned, and to learn what was going on in real estate. Back then, the written word was still relatively timely. My dad always said that Rolly Hopkins' publication was the only paper that took the time and effort to truly understand and support the real estate community. I guess the only "business" I was doing at the time was working summers on the grounds crew at New England Executive Park and Newton Executive Park. Perhaps it was a glimpse into my future. How long have you been affiliated with the commercial real estate industry? I have been in the real estate business for 26 years.
